#UFC Offered Rampage Coaching Slot Opposite Sonnen Before Jones Booking

Quote :

According to a report on MMAFighting.com,
UFC President Dana White as well as former UFC light-heavyweight
champion Rampage Jackson both confirmed that Jackson turned down the TUF
coaching gig opposite Chael Sonnen prior to the Jones booking.
The currently anti-UFC “Rampage” Jackson had this to say on the matter:
“Forget
TUF. I’m not interested in that. I don’t want to fight Chael. He’s the
kind of fighter that I don’t want to fight. He’s a boring fighter that
just wants to hump people.”

too bad that would be a great season there. All the trash talking between these 2 would be epic.

The trash talking would have been decent, but Rampage is by far the worst coach in TUF history. I would hate to see him for a third season.

TUF is like american idol. it hasnt been about talent in a while.

Plain and simple I just don't like Rampage. He's got absolutely nothing to offer in MMA period. I'd ALMOST not watch it if Rampage coached again. Bah humbug.

Bisping was absolutely shit too... missing fights and not giving shits

I will agree...Nelson is looking like he maybe the worst yet

I dont know about that. I will agree with you that he's by far not the best coach but i dont he is any where near the worst either. in both tuf coaching seasons he had 5 out of the possible 8 make it through and i think he only ever missed was deans fight. but he trains with them and mixes it up with them. Rampage,Shamrock,Nelson would barely if at all even go in there and mix it up with the fighters. All 3 of these coaches cared more about there upcoming fights than there fighters they had to coach. But thats just my 2 cents. I think Matt Serra was probably one of the best TUF coaches over all.

I think that's a fair assessment.

I can't base how good of a coach you were by wins on TUF. The guys are pretty much fighting with what they had in their tool box prior to coming to the house. I can only base it off of what they showed while actually coaching. With that said I will fully agree with you that Serra was nearly, if not the, best coach.

And actually come to think of it, Nelson is a far better "Cage side" Coach than Carwin.

You can blame me for posting that picture, but they deserve even more blame for taking it in the first place.

that pic looks like either a bad rap video or POV from a rape victim.
